- 32 ounce fermented kimchi (, cut into pieces)

Place the lid on the Instant Pot and turn it to its lock position and make sure to switch the steam release valve to "SEALING". Select the pressure cook setting and adjust the time to 25 minutes on the normal setting and high pressure.

Once the time is up, carefully switch the steam release valve to "VENTING." There will be a lot of pressure and steam so be very careful! Let the steam release completely and the floating valve drops before opening the lid.
